Firefox 4 new upgrade won't recognize reboot.

I've just completed upgrading to Firefox 4. As usual it asked me to reboot to complete the install. I've rebooted & shut down twice & it still give me the message that I have to reboot when I try to open it. I also tried reinstalling it & uninstalling it, both with the same result.

When you say that your computer doesn't recognize your Belkin router, do you mean that your computer lost Internet connectivity after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7?
If so, can you get a friend to bring over a computer and try to connect to the Internet through your router? That would eliminate whether the router was to blame or not. It might also pay to power cycle your router.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Network > Built-In Ethernet and check to see if you're actually getting an IP address from the router (assuming that you've configured it for DHCP). You can select Built-In Ethernet and click on configure to see how it's actually configured. On the first tab, TCP/IP, you probably want to have Configure IPv4 configured to Using DHCP. Close all of those windows and as an extra precaution, reboot your machine and see if that gets you back online.

New Mini won't recognize Apple USB modem

I hate being thick but I can't figure out why my new mini won't recognize the Apple USB modem I just purchased. The network preferences see the built-in Airport card, Bluetooth, Ethernet and Firewire, but I cannot get it to recognize any kind of modem (internal or external).
I figured it might be an uninstalled component (this is the Mini with built-in Airport) and looked through the OS X installation discs, but no. I can't find any drivers on the Apple site for the modem... has anyone had any success with this?
Many thanks in advance,
m.
Mini / 1.42Ghz/airport Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Doh! Upgrading the system to 10.4.4 did the trick. I guess the right drivers for the USB modem weren't in the earlier version to be recognized.

My new computer won't recognize my printer (HP4500 Officejet Wireless) in the wireless or wired mode

MY new computer won't recognize my printer in either the connected or wireless mode. When I hit "search for printers" it finds my neighbors wireless printer 100 yards away, and another net, but not mine sitting right beside it.

Hi,
Have you installed its software abd drivers on your computer yet ? Please use the CD which came with the printer. By the way, what is your Officejet 4500 ? It must be G510something.
Regards.

My new iWeb won't recognize my website, gives error message

UPDATE: After more reading, I found the only ".sites" file I have on my computer (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2), and opened it in iWeb, which prompted me to choose a background for my site as if I were creating a site. It looks like I'm missing this .sites file for the website I already made.
Is there a way to recreate this .sites file? Does it exist on my remote server?
Thanks for your help.
Old news:
I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and my friend installed it for me. He made a backup of all my files, but may not have used Time Machine.
Now iWeb won't recognize the website I created in iWeb. My website's folder appears in my directory under "Sites", and all files appear to be there.
When I open iWeb, it says "Can't open file "~/Sites/[mywebsitename]/assets.http:--www.mywebsitename.com.plist" then immediately closes.

If you're trying to open one of your published site files then that's why you're getting that message. iWeb can't read html files.
Is the size of the Domain.sites2 file large indicating it contains your site and its components. A new domain file with just 1 page will be around 200 KB. If the size of the file indicates that it is your domain file
Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
If you can't find a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that existed before the installation of SL you'll have to recreate your site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

Mountain Lion Upgrade Won't Recognize AOL password

I just upgraded to mountain lion and aol won't recognize my password. Gmail and iCloud no issues at all. Driving me nuts. Quit and tried again-no luck. Rebooted-no luck. Installed latest version of aol for mac-no luck. Unchecked SSL-no luck. Any suggestions

Which versions of Office? If you upgraded from Snow Leopard and you're on Office 2004, you're out of luck. If you're on a newer version of Office you should be OK.

I have a sync key, have installed Firefox 28, but it won't recognize my account?

Ok. Firefox was my main browser on my old laptop, but I ended up having to wipe it's hard drive a few weeks back.
Before I wiped the hard drive I saved a recovery key. It did not say that I needed an account, just the key, so that is literally all I have. I did not have a firefox account back then. (Note: I'm pretty sure I didn't have an account at least, because when I searched for an account on Firefox with the only two emails that I use it couldn't find an account under either.)
Now that I'm trying to recover my old data, I've read that I have to download a pre-29 version of Fireox, so I got Firefox 28 mobile, but the damn thing insists that I need a Firefox account ALONG WITH the recovery key to gather the old data. It won't recognize my new account info (that I just made when I downloaded the newest version of Firefox before realizing it wouldn't be able to sync), so now here I am. With a seemingly useless sync key, a useless sync account, and all of my old bookmarks and passwords lost to the ages.
Is there anything I can do, or should I just give up?

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

Upgrade won't recognize the hard disk to begin the installation

Powerbook G4 w/ 9.2.2 & the original CD for OS X 10.1 - thought I'd get it on and upgrade from there since I know I'll need to buy more RAM - existing is 385 & I only have 10 G on the system. I downloaded several updates, ran the security update first. The 10.1.1 update won't recognize the hard disk to begin the installation.Thought I had a clue, but stuck in the jungle upgrading. Which one is which - is Jaguar 10.2??? Do I need to be doing each of these upgrades to get it running well until I add the RAM? I'm trying to stay calm since it updated my IE and I think I lost everything I had on it - too fast with the click and assumed they were separate entities....(unless there is a genius out there who can help on that front too)
many thanks... Kate

Hi Kate! And Welcome To Discussions!
You're lucky Kappy is helping you out with this. He is one of the more knowledgable posters here!
I'm just adding some extra info.
There are two PowerBook models that need a Firmware Update, before you can install a newer OS X.
Check if one of them is yours.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.6 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
Jaguar Full Retail Version CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
More info here Tip: Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 combo update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final edition of either OS.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the 10.4.6 Combo Update.
You'll find System Requirements in these links:
Panther
Tiger
Additionally,
"Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."

CS2 upgrade won't recognize Photoshop 5.0 CD or Install

I am reiinstalling after a HDD crash and CS2 which previously worked fine in Win XP, won't recognize my Photoshop 5.0 installation to upgrade it.
It gave me a # to give customer support so they could give me an unlock code per install screen instructions. Come to find out, they don't support 5.0 and earlier versions anymore.
Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue?

Where can I get a download for an earlier version of firefox the new version won't run on my computer

I downloaded version 4 and replaced the old files. The new version won;t run because my Mac dose not have an Intell prossesor. I uninstalled the new version and I cant find the old version to download.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

New iMac won't recognize Motorola iMac (both on 10.5.5) Migration Assistant

I just brought home a new Intel iMac, and tried to transfer data from my old iMac. Both the old and new Macs are running sys. 10.5.5. I have followed all instructions in Migration Assistant, but after I restart my 1.8 GHZ Power PC G5 (holding down T button), the new iMac thinks it's still starting up. I see the Firewire symbol on my old Mac's screen, but the new one doesn't recognize that the old one has restarted. In case I had a defective Firewire cable, I changed it out, but no luck. Any ideas, anyone?

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Sometimes it's a timing thing. First try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable while both machines are running.
If that does not help, start the old machine in Target mode with FW cable connected but don't start second machine until first is fully booted in Target mode, or if they are already connected and running, reboot the new Machine (same thing).
Lastly, I am not sure you can migrate from a PPC to an Intel, but I may be wrong there, never having tried it.
What does Motorola have to do with this? Just curious. I didn't think they make iMacs.

New Curve won't recognize battery :(

I just got a Curve 8520 in the mail. It didn't come with a battery or anything because it's a replacement. So, I take the battery (100% charge) out of my Pearl Flip, and put it in the Curve. The red LED goes on for a few seconds, then it shows a picture of a battery with a red slash through it. What's wrong? The number on the front of the battery is C-M2. It has a yellow label. What do i need to do to get my new phone to work? Also, my Desktop Manager (and PC) won't recognize it at all.
Thanks for your help!!

Library Issue: Existing External Drive - New Computer Won't Recognize

Hi,
I've had an external drive library for quite some time. I just bought a new laptop, downloaded iTunes, pointed it to F:\Music where my library is and it won't recognize the files. There are a handful of songs that come with iTunes, so I did a Consolidate to see what would happen. They are visible and available from my F: drive but none of my "original" files. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Unless I am missing something, this is a real pain the tukus. I moved all of my mp3's to an external hard drive to free up space in my c drive. My Itunes cannot find it. Do I really have to move items into Itunes folder by folder??? Is there not a search for "music files" which moves it into the itunes folder, wherever that may be? I see references where the site seems to say that the physical file doesn't need to be in the Itunes folder but only references it. I have a ton of folders. Each individually??? I have moved compied pasted and created som many folders that say I tunes, I think I must have triplicates of all files. This is a mess. Why can't I get Itunes/Ipod to find the folder where I want my files to reside-off my C drive?

New Computer Won't Recognize my IPOD

I have an IPOD mini and just got a new computer. When I plug it in, the computer says "usb device not recognized". When I look it up it says that there is no driver for the device. It still works fine on my old machine (a slower usb 1.1).

You may want to try these steps, Jacob, after you've installed and run the iPod Updater and your computer still won't recognize the iPod:
First, make hidden folders visible. Open My Computer and choose Tools/Folder Options/View tab. Click on 'Show hidden files and folders' and click OK.
In the Add New Hardware Wizard, have it search in C:\windows\inf for usbstor.inf. This file is required for windows to properly configure the driver. If Windows finds the driver there, you're done.
If Windows does not find the proper driver there, copy usbstor.sys from C:\windows\servicepack\i386 to C:\windows\system32\drivers.
If you can't find the usbstor.inf file on your system, you can get it here: usbstor.inf
After copying the usbstor.inf driver file to C:\Windows\inf, right-click on My Computer and choose Manage.'
Click on the button labeled 'Device Manager.'
Click to open the list under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers.'
Right click on any mass storage devices with the exclamation icon next to them and select 'Update Driver.'
Check the option 'Install from a list or a specific location' and then click to continue.
Check next to 'Include this location in the search' and enter 'C:\windows\inf'.
Click on 'Next' and follow the steps to complete the driver installation wizard.
